BRUNO FERNANDES proved the hero for Manchester United as they salvaged all three points late on.
Match report
The Red Devils once again failed to impress, but almost sewed up automatic qualification thanks to a dramatic ending.
United thought they had taken the lead in the first half through Matthijs de Ligt's header, but it was disallowed after a VAR check because it was judged that Leny Yoro had made a mistake on Robin Propper.
The decision was soft, so United will have felt justice had been served when Butland smashed the ball into the back of his own net from a corner after half-time.
But United didn't press on from there and were put back late on when Cyriel Dessers brought down a long ball before firing home with his second touch.
Harry Maguire played the striker onside and failed to deal with the long pass to him, leaving Dessers one-on-one.
But his captain was spared when Fernandes strolled into the back post, got on the end of a cross and fired the ball between Butland's legs.
